For Lord Of The Rings Fans: The Hunt For Gollum
For those Lord Of The Rings fans who enjoyed Peter Jackson's movies of J.R.R. Tolkien's books, and are eagerly awaiting Guillermo del Toro's version of The Hobbit, how about a little teaser?
It seems that some fans are making a low-budget--but what seems to be a pretty well-made and good-quality--45-minute film about The Hunt For Gollum. The film is scheduled to be released for free in streaming high-definition on May 3, 2009. Head on over to the site and the blog to see the trailers and to read about the film and its makers.
If I remember the sequence right, The Hunt For Gollum is a story that comes after the end of The Hobbit, when Bilbo Baggins returns to Bag End after the end of his adventures, and before Bilbo's party at the beginning of The Fellowship Of The Ring, the first book in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. The One Ring is currently with Bilbo, and Gollum, the previous holder, has left his cave in The Misty Mountains in search of it. Gandalf, still unsure if the ring Bilbo now holds is indeed The One Ring and needing desperately to find out, enlists the aid of Aragorn and his ranger skills to track down Gollum (Gandalf also does his own sleuthing in the archives of Minas Tirith, searching for any documentation on The Ring). Of course, we know that Aragorn succeeds in finding and capturing Gollum, and brings him to Gandalf, who interrogates the creature with great difficulty. Gandalf discovers that Gollum did indeed come into possession of the artifact (or was it the artifact possessing him?) near The River Anduin, the last known place where The One Ring was ever seen, when it was still in the hands of Isildur, Aragorn's ancestor. Gandalf then leaves Gollum in the captivity of The Elves of Mirkwood, and fearful for Bilbo, rushes back to The Shire. Those of us who have read the books (or watched the movies) knows what happens after that. :)
This should make for an interesting appetizer before The Hobbit movie is released in 2012. Enjoy the site, Lord Of The Rings fans!
